What Does “Over 7.5 | 1st Innings – Over 11” Mean?
This bet predicts whether more than 7.5 runs will be scored in the 11th over of the first innings.
- 1st Innings → Applies only to the team batting first
- Over 11 → The 11th over of the innings (balls 61–66)
- Over 7.5 runs → At least 8 runs or more must be scored
If the batting team scores 8 runs or above in over 11, the bet wins.
If the score 7 runs or fewer, the bet loses.
How Runs Are Counted in Over 11
All runs scored in that over are included:
- Batting runs (1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 6s)
- Extras:
- Wides
- No-balls
- Byes
- Leg byes
Important:
If a no-ball or wide is bowled, the extra ball still counts within that same over, and all runs still contribute to the total.
